It also depends on the brand, carters and target tend to run small

My daughter was 5lbs 14oz (39w4d) and wore newborn for about 4 weeks, depending on the brand of clothes. She was really petite too (only 17.5 inches long). For this baby boy I have 5 sleepers, 4 long sleeve onesies, 6 short sleeve onesies and 3 pair of pants. Then on to size 0-3 months and 3 months from there. I didn't want to overstock on stuff so if I need to buy more, that's an option.

It depends my last daughter was 7.5lbs @ birth if it went up to 10 lbs two months if it went up to 8 one month. It also depends on what it is.

This time I got maybe 5 items in new born really just a few shirts and some shorts.

All kids are different. My daughter was 6 pounds 11 ounces and pretty skinny. She was in newborn clothes for almost 3 months. Some pants even longer. I was so unprepared and had no newborn clothes for her. Licking she was born right before Christmas so she got a new wardrobe for Christmas that year haha

Thanks! I probably should have waited to wash his newborn clothes, but I guess it's part of the nesting. I had a wild hair up my butt and felt like I needed to get everything washed, cleaned and his nursery better organized. I feel like I didn't spend a ton of money on newborn clothes though, and I have at least one friend who is having a baby boy after me that I can donate to.

Newborn clothes for maybe a month.

I think that's the same with diapers! Buy one pack and see. The doctors can predict a round about weight but can't know for sure till the baby gets here. My first daughter wore newborn in the hospital I think. She was 8 pounds 3 oz and 22 inches long. She was in newborn diapers long enough to squeeze through the small pack I bought. It's hard to estimate. And with baby clothes being so expensive I'd rather buy a few and not have enough then go crazy and buy a ton and never use them. Baby clothes are hard to resell. If you have taken tags off and what not.

Not long at all! 4 weeks tops. Some pieces my son only wore once or twice. He was born 20 inches long, and was 24 inches by his 4 week appointment. I couldn't keep up with his growth, i felt like he was constantly outgrowing his clothes. I would start getting 0-3 months and larger clothes now, just keep the seasons in mind.

It all depends on your babies size. I was recommended to NOT buy a ton of newborn, then my son born at 7.5lbs 20.5 inches wore newborn size for like 2 months! I had to actually go out and buy NB sizes and he needed a nb size outfit for coming home. We couldn't get away with the 0-3 it was way too big I'm anticipating a bigger baby this time, but still I stocked up just in case.

My daughter wore newborn stuff for about 2 months, some things up to 3 months, she was 7lbs 9 oz and 21 1/3 inches long when she was born

I'm wondering the same. This baby is already heavy (3 weeks ahead) so I'm guessing 8lbs+++

I'm spewing as have about 10 x newborn suits eek. So want to use them

My son was 4lbs 14oz. He was in preemie and newborn sizes for a long time.

All 4 of my kids wore newborn for at least 3 months. My smallest weighed 6.1 and my biggest 7.1.

Both of my boys couldn't do newborn. With my first, I had brought a newborn zip up onesie thingy as his going home outfit and he couldn't bend his arms nor legs. He looked like a little star fish.

My kids are the anomaly because they fit in NB for like 2, almost 3 months. They were only 6.2 and 6.5 and are just petite so I actually get a lot of wear out of the clothes (even now). I bought quite a few NB onesies for baby girl for that reason.

For some reason I want to say somewhere around 5 weeks. Born 7lbs 4oz

My first son never wore newborn. He was 8lb 13oz. My second was a pound lighter and wore them for a few weeks. I never get too many because it's such a short amount of time and honestly my kids stayed in pjs the most because all they do is sleep! Lol

My kids were all in newborn for a little over a month

3 days because I squeezed him into the few outfits I owned

My last never fit into them, she was too big, well too long (8lb 6oz 23inch long) My son only got to wear a few outfits before he grew it out of them..again he was too long.
